Time to Post!

Now that school has started, it's next to impossible to find time to post on this blog (especially since I am doing a blog for my classroom, which seems to be a hit with my students' parents)!  We have a positive downpour of pictures to post today, from adventures with food coloring, to story time, to General Conference weekend (to find out more what I learned, click HERE)!

First off, the green food coloring incident... Somehow unbeknownst to a room full of adults, the 2 toddlers found, opened, and shook a bottle all over themselves, the cabinets, and the floor.  They enjoyed it as thoroughly as one can expect, although neither appreciated the bath that followed.  The pictures are after the bath, if thhey remained green for a few days. 

 

Next is story time!  Lizzie loves to read "Miss Spider's Tea Party" over...

 ...and over...

...and over...

 ...and over...

I love watching storytime with Daddy--at the very top of Lizzie's favorite things is cuddling in bed with Daddy and a book.  Especially if it's Miss Spider's Tea Party.

 "Again!"

 "Tuck, tuck, tuck."  (Lizzie recently discovered that blankets are actually wonderful, and not just a restriction on her movement, as she previously thought since infancy).

And of course, yesterday was our traditional walk down Provo Canyon between Sunday Conference sessions.  Lizzie demonstrated her full independence as she attempted to stroll the length of the path by herself.  I loved that Case got pictures of everybody!

 Family Pictures!  (it took quite some time to convince Lizzie that she could manage a break from her exploring to sit in our laps)

We can't forget Maci!  She is such a good baby!

Phew.  Hopefully that lasts us all until the next moment I can find to post!

Drowsy at Dinnertime

We couldn't believe how tired Lizzie was at dinner a few nights ago!  Usually the sight of food perks her up: if not to eat it, at least to play with it!  We couldn't help get some pictures!

 Then Case got her to start giggling...

 ...then, she started raising her hand and crying, "ME!" when we'd ask, "Who's the cutest girl in town?"

Sometimes, we can't even stand how precious our little girl is!

Zoo!

I suppose when it rains, it pours, so here goes with another onslaught of pictures. We had been trying to make a family trip to the zoo all summer, and we finally made it last week. The kids had a blast and absolutely loved the animals! It's always wonderful to see things through the lenses of a toddler!

Rocket ship forehead man!

Her expression when she caught a view of the rest of the family watching was priceless! She was adorably animated with a great gasp followed by a "HI!!!!"

She loved watching the elephants!

She was crazy about the armadillos! "Hi!"

A beautiful end to a beautiful day!
